Anything you wish to study or teach in your home school can probably be found on the World Wide Web. Search engines abound, are easy to use, and reference libraries are everywhere. With a little effort you can find information about almost any subject you can imagine.

Oh, by the way...if you feel a little weight on your shoulder while you are here, it is just "Dolly the Micro-cat" treating you like one of the family. (let me know if you're allergic).

Homeschooling is an act of love and a gift to your family, yourself, your child and, arguably, the world. If you find that it fits your life, you will have some incredible opportunities to teach, watch and learn with your child.

All kids will shine if they get the chance, and for some, homeschooling is a better chance. Given the ability to pursue their interests at their own speed, many are leaving a cloud of dust for the rest to follow.

Although home schooling is admittedly not for everyone, we must face the fact that neither is the environment of public or even private school. After the dust settles and the catch-words fall by the wayside, the obvious advantages of the flexibility and focus of homeschooling will continue to gather new converts. It is not so much a condemnation of the school system, as a fine example of a different, and often better way.

Some will argue that only trained teachers are fit to school a child, others know that attentive parenting will help you see how your child learns best. How she or he takes on the world and what will work in their best interests becomes more evident through the one-on-one observation that parents are able to deliver.

When you choose to home school, your family can experience a closeness that has long been lacking in our 'me first, I want it all and I want it now' culture.
